SEPTEMBER WHAT?

Dana Perino So Glad We Never Had a Terrorist Attack on America During George W. Bush’s Presidency

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009


Dim-bulb Dana Perino was doing jello shots at a frat party in 2001, so it’s no great surprise she doesn’t remember the 9/11 attacks on America. And the producers of Fox News could give a shit what anybody says on the air, as long as the subtext is racism. MORE »


ETHICS OF CONVENIENCE

Fox News Bosses Suddenly Want To Fire Everyone For Constant Idiot Errors & Lies

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

librulzHow does Fox News trim the work force during a terrible recession without mentioning layoffs at all? Just put out an “internal memo” announcing a sudden & comical “zero tolerance” for the constant fuckups and intentional lies that make Fox News so funny. (The memo went out Friday, so it didn’t mention today’s hilarious idiocy.) Expect about 45% of the Fox News staff to be jobless by New Year’s. [TPM]


MATH IS LIBERAL

All 193% of Republicans Support Palin, Romney and Huckabee

Monday, November 23rd, 2009


What happens when enterprising Americans watch Fox News and use Twitter simultaneously? Constant hilarity, that is what, as you can see from this fun “info-graphic” on the Fox News, which explains how Sarah Palin’s supposedly strong 70% support from GOP idiots is still no match for Huckabee’s 63% support, or Romney’s 60%. What? [Twitter of "Keventhepang"]

More Obama-Monster Evidence From Photos

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

'Like a baby, stillborn. Like a beast with his horn ....'
God, this guy … with the bowing, again. What little fascist-communist dictator is Obama kowtowing to this time? We don’t know, some child despot, maybe the Sultan of Cuba or the African Queen. No wonder Fox News has to name all the pictures of Barack “monster.jpg.” And that stench? Oh, that’s just the smell of the constitution burning. [Flickr]


SHE CAN SEE IRAQ FROM IRAN

Sarah Palin Has No Idea What Iran, And Therefore Iraq, Is

Thursday, November 19th, 2009


Watch Sarah Palin go on and on about Iraq in response to the question of what the US should do about Ahmadinejad and a nuclear Iran. She says “Iraq” twice, which, according to reality, is different from Iran, the country the Iranian President is the president of. Andrew Sullivan this fact’s already been checked!

SECRETS OF THE INTERNET

Thursday, November 19th, 2009


Much like your Wonkette, Fox News also enjoys assigning comical file names to photographs. Although “Obama_WarCouncil_doomsday”? Ehh. A bit overwrought, as all those words mean the same thing. Thanks to URL Spy “Ryan L.” [monster; WarCouncil_doomsday; japan_monster]

UPDATE: Some Fox intern wrote in to Andrew Sullivan! Unlearn everything you thought you knew about FOX jpegs, stat. MORE »


FACE-HAVING PUNDITS

Subject-Verb Agreement Has A Liberal Bias

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009


“Faceless pundits talks around the issues, not about them…celebrity gossip passes as breaking news…and the liberal bias spewed by the mainstream media makes them like less like a public service and more like an extension of the White House Press Office.” Dates in Westbury, NY and Tampa are already sold out! People do not hesitates or you will has no choice but to listen to your faceless pundits talks around the issues. [Bold & Fresh Tour 2010]


CAPTION CONTEST

Orly Taitz Shuts Down Fox News, With A Protest

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Celebrated chief birther and dentist-lawyer Orly Taitz held a protest outside the Fox News building in New York City today, for publicity. Supposedly Bill O’Reilly called the birthers crazy, and this was very offensive to Orly Taitz. Approximately four people showed up for the protest! Here’s Orly talking to a nice fellow from Africa. CAPTION CONTEST. [Gawker]


BORED OLD MEN

Brave Rupert Murdoch Would Like Attention For Calling Obama A Racist

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009


Watch combative, raisin-shaped philosopher-king Rupert Murdoch beg for attention: “[the following was said in an Australian accent, which, according to the Chicago Manual of Style, should be indicated using the 'underline' option]: mumble mumble aye oy yes Glenn Beck was riiiight to call Obama a raycist b’cause sum of the comments Obama mayde were raycist mumble blacks and whites and reds and yellows even though he sayd he wasn’t a raycist.” Yeah it does sound a bit Irish—Wordpress! Anyway the White House will continue to ignore this because there is negative zero reason to do otherwise. [Media Matters]


WHAT THE TELEVISION TELLS US

Bill O’Reilly Would Just Like To Throw This Out There, For Argument’s Sake

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Tee hee, god knows what the Fox News programming must be like tonight, the night after a funeral for murdered soldiers, but apparently Bill O’Reilly has to go so far as to play “devil’s advocate” to suggest that “we can’t kill all the Muslims” — as in, that’s more or less what his guest’s argument would be. His guest is probably more accurate in a sense, however, since official U.S. anti-terrorism policy is still basically “run around the Middle East for 10-20 years and try to kill all the Muslims.” [YouTube]


FOX NEWS IS BASICALLY PRUSSIA

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
  • ANOTHER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR LEAVES WHITE HOUSE: Hooray, the White House will now have its third communications director within a year! Anita Dunn, who famously launched an actual thermonuclear war against the television channel Fox News a few weeks (months?) ago, is returning to her consulting firm to make buttloads of money. FOX NEWS WINS THE INTERNET! Current deputy Dan Pfeiffer will take over forever. [WP/The Fix]
